Abstract

One goal of image quality metrics is to predict human judgments of the difference between image pairs. The analysis of color image quality usually includes three aspects: color difference, sharpness, contrast. The calculating of color difference has been put forward, S-CIELAB has already been used to calculate color difference. In order to measure the sharpness difference and contrast difference of digital color image pairs, a new framework of color image quality metrics is constructed on the basis of CIE color difference metrics. In this research, three arguments of color images can be calculated to evaluate the difference between digital color image pairs.
